Damn, already over $18,000. I wish I had thought of that!

I tried to send him a buck, but Paypal has cancelled his account due to protests.

Jesus, what a scam. Why in the hell would you send him money? Send us crap if you're so eager to give it away.
 
That's just it, it's so obviously a scam and people are sending him money anyway. (assuming he's being truthful about his take so far) It's genius in the tradition of P.T. Barnum.
 
I don't believe that he actually found the bunny under his porch or that he will eat it. But if people really are sending him money then I respect him for it for being such a savvy businessman. But I don't believe he is really up to 18,000 dollars. If he really is, then he should just stop there and say that that will suffice.
 
It's a hoax, people.

Read up on it on Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/savetoby.asp
Bunny lovers everywhere can once again breathe easily: savetoby.com is a hoax. Although the site now lacks a disclaimer, a visitor to it on 9 February 2005 spotted one that said: "Note: this is a joke: please only donate to buy gear or help support savetoby.com."

...and save the snopes link into your favorites - every time you see something suspicious or hear a strange story, check it against their database. You'll look way more intelligent after that, I can assure you.

If you really care for bunnies, spend your buck here: http://www.rabbitcare.org/
 
Is it legal to do that? I would guess it would be legal considering we're eating cows when we eat burgers, as well as tons of other animals we eat.. turkeys, pigs, chickens, lamb, etc... For some reason eating a bunny seems worse though.. maybe because they're cute? I have respect for vegetarians though, I tried it for about two weeks until I REALLY wanted a cheeseburger.

Dennis Leary has a really great bit about not eating the cute animals. You can find it on most file-sharing programs. It's usually called "Meat"
 
My dad brought a rabbit home once when I was a kid. He found it in the Vought parking lot after work. He built a cage for it, and before long we had several rabbits. Seems it was pregnant. So my dad built more cages, and we kept having more rabbits, and more cages. Pretty soon , dad was paying my sister and I $.25 a week to feed and water them every day. After a while, dad decided we had too many rabbits, so we started trying to sell them. Not having much luck, we tried giving them away. We still had a lot of rabbits, so dad decided that we would have to eat them. So one weekend we started butchering rabbits. I would go to the cages and get a rabbit, and take it to my dad, who then killed it, skinned it, and gutted it. He gave it to my sister who took it inside to my mom who cut it up and put it into the freezer. After the freezer was full with over 200 rabbits, we started giving away the cut up rabbits, and we finally got rid of them all. We ate rabbit for a long time after that.


I hate rabbit.
 
Got rid of them all meaning no living rabbits left. The freezer was full of rabbits. We ate probably 90% of them.

Agreed. On a similar note if he does eat the rabbit I hope it tastes good. When I was in Greece I had some very very good rabbit

Did you at least spare the original bunny after eating its inbred progeny?
 
That eating your pet rabbits thing reminds me of a coworker of mine. He was from Vietnam and he told me that when he was a kid, his pet dog died, and his father cooked it for the family to eat. He said that he felt bad about it, but meat is so scarce there (at least when he was a kid- around Vietnam era), that just about any animal starts to look good after you haven't had meat for months. I thought it sounded disgusting, but when I remembered how much I craved meat when I just ate veggies for a few weeks, I began to somewhat understand.

BTW.. is this "Rabbit Ransom" thread the most disgusting thread in WC forum history?

Nah, I seem to remember a thread about Filipino food, you haven't tried disgusting until you've tried balut.

Besides, rabbit is actually pretty good - and it is similar to chicken.
